Spanning the size of San Francisco, CA, Walt Disney World spends $100 million on maintaining Magic Kingdom. Of the 62,000 employees, 5,500 are dedicated to maintenance and engineering within the parks.

In order to avoid disruption in the park, 100% of maintenance goes on after visiting hours. Here are some statistics to put the parks into perspective:

The 26,000 feet of lights outlining the Epcot World Showcase is long enough to span the Golden Gate bridge six times.
